I had my Aria all decked out with CM6 and the overclock, but me being curious I wanted to see if I could restore this thing back to factory, you know, just to make sure I could do it in case of a hardware failure. Well now I cannot get Clockwork to install, I did the manual root and then installed ROM manager, when I try to restore a backup of my cm6 rom it never installs and goes to the factory revocery screen. What am I doing wrong?
You replaced Clockwork with the factory recovery. You can't flash roms until you reinstall clockwork. You need to start all over again with unrevoked reflash.
Thats what is odd, I figured as much and I attempted it but for some strange reason the unrevoked reflash acts like it is working and it sits at waiting for reboot and never goes further. I have reformatted the sd card in my windows 7 machine and installed/uninstalled htc sync.
EDIT: Ok so i got home from work and decided to try uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling them again, still no go...so I put a new sd card in freshly formatted from my laptop...and it worked perfectly!!! So relieved!

Hey i wanted to factory reset my hd2 but it only has the magldr and clockwordmod recovery. When i turn the phone on, it wont go to the rom because it seems like there is no rom. I used to have an android rom but decided to install other rom but things werent good so now the phone is keep rebooting since the rom is missing.
Any ideas on how to reset the phone with only magldr and clockwordmod recovery? :/ And the phone wont sync in to the computer (like windows mobivle device center) but i can sync the micro sd card in. Thank you so much
get your correct stock rom,(look it up) flash it from sd card.(look it up)
am having the same problem, i had windows then i try flashing it to andriod, some error happened and when i reboot phone it keep coming up on the maglrd menu, window mobile center wont detect the phone so i cant sync it also, how can i load any rom to have the phone back up and running dont care if its windows or andriod.
i try putting rom zip file on the sd card and install but no luck =\
Sounds like your recovery is blown so try reinstalling MAGLDR 1.13 then reinstall your ROM.
I cant get pass the bootloader on mines I tried to flash via sd but no luck also tryin via comp it wont start at all
Interesting. I have a question (Not wanting to hijack this thread but sounds familiar).
I had Magloader and WP7 in it. As time went by I upgraded to HD7 and never looked back. It's been a while since I have touched XDA and WM6.5.
My assumption is that even with Magloader, you only have to flash your stock ROM and it'll revert back to WM.
Mine won't go on and I suspect that I flashed a Non-Tmobile compatible ROM. Can someone confirm that this is the case? Here's the ROM string: RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship.exe
I understand completely that if I messed it up then it's messed up. I just wanna make sure there might be other solutions or something I am missing out.
-Thanks in advance!
Before doing my flash, I did my research, and it seemed that in order to update from CM7 to CM10, I had to flash a different version of CWM. So I booted into recovery, flashed the version 6.xxx CWM, and then rebooted (I assumed that in order to flash CM10, I had to be in a CM10-compliant recovery). After getting back to my regular desktop, I rebooted into recovery as normal... only it didn't go into recovery. Instead, it paused for a moment like it would go into recovery, then booted to my normal desktop.
I've tried about a billion ways to boot into recovery, to include SD based recoveries, but it either goes to a larger sized N screen, then hangs up on a black screen, or it boots me to my normal CM7. I "can" continue to operate on CM7, but until I can boot into recovery, I can neither update to CM10 nor address any problems I come across in my current build.
Suggestions?

Have you tried holding on the power button and the "n" button as you boot? I recall running into a similar issue as yours and that was the only way I could get to recovery. If you're able to get into recovery that way I would consider maybe getting a different version fo CWM. I had trouble with the 6.0.1.5 version. You might try the 6.0.1.2 version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958&page=5
I ran into something similar when I tried installing CWM 6.x.x. I chickened out and decided to run CM10 from SD instead, and I'm so happy on the performance now that I do!
I did the "unbrick" thing with "repart.img" to get the Tablet back to "out of the box" state and sighed of relief when it worked!
Yeah, I was afraid of that. I really didn't wanna go through the process of unbricking, but I guess there's no help for it.

Power + 'n' doesn't work on my NT either, I have to turn the device off, insert the SD with CWM, then plug in the (still turned-off) NT to a wall charger and allow it to boot up that way - then (and only then) do I boot into recovery, and without touching any buttons. Hopefully that helps
Dang, whoever thought this would be such a booger of a deal?!?
Okay, first off, let me apologize for coming off like a noob, but it seems there's so much information out there that everything's kinda bleeding together, so let me tell you where I'm at.
I've unbricked and restored the NT to stock 1.4.2
I tried rooting, but the only root I can find that is flashable from SD is the 5.5 CWM which is older than the CWM 6.xxx that every CM10 version calls for. So I went ahead and did the root, so now I have a stock NT with root access. This is where I'm getting stuck...
I'm at this point...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640958&highlight=cwm+1+4+2
...and it apparently requires you to reboot into CWM in order to install CWM?!?
I've found the CWM 6+ files I think I need, but when I try to follow the instructions, my NT won't kick over into recovery---it keeps booting straight to the rooted 1.4.2 stock rom. I've found guides that take you from stock 1.4.3 to CM10, some that take you from 1.4.2 to root, and I even found Indirect's CM7 (without the instructions on how to get CWM on there in the first place!). I even downloaded Rom Manager and tried to boot into recovery that way, but it said there was my device wasn't supported.
I've been staring at this dang screen for three hours, trying to find a step by step, and I'm coming up empty. Maybe I'm just too frustrated at this point and need a breather.
What I need to know is how to install CWM 6+ on a NT that's either rooted or stock 1.4.2 (I still have the unbrick SD card) so that I can boot into CWM. From there, I can make my way through installing CM10. Help. Please. Am about to chew the lining out of my cheek.
I don't know if this might be helpful? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037368

Not yet. I was expecting OTA to kick in, updating my current 1.4.2 to 1.4.3, but it hasn't. Honestly starting to think my NT doesn't want to be rehacked LOL
Okay, so here's what I'm doing at the moment...
I'm at rooted stock. I moved CWM 6.0.1.2, CM10, and gapps over to internal SD.
I booted into recovery with an older version CWM SD card (SD card image with Win32 > turned off NT > insert SD > plug in USB to autoboot)
While in recovery (from SD), I flashed CWM 6.0.1.2 , CM10 (meghd00t), and gapps-jb-20121011.
I reboot...
WE HAVE JOY!
Now to check to see if the thing's gonna run right (got a whole lotta "XYZ has stopped" error messages upon boot up)
Dangit, keep getting those error messages about Gapps stopping and Google Play, and other stuff. Not allowing me to do hardly anything I need to. I can't even boot into recovery from the home page---it still loads straight to the Rom. In order to get into recovery, I need to use the SD that I made to get into recovery in the first place. Going to wipe dalvik and the other caches to see if that helps...
After wiping the caches, I boot into CM10 with no error messages. I DL'd a game from my Gmail account, and it appears to be working properly. Thanks for the suggestions and for letting me vent
I just went thru this similar ordeal too. It took me over 3 weeks to finally find a recovery & cm10 combo. What I found is that I couldn't get ANY version of twrp to act right. Indirect's flashing tool was invaluable. I finally used it to flash a cwm 6.x from Laverne's thread. It seems that not all versions of cwm 6.x are compatible with certain cm10 roms too & by chance I hit a combo that finally worked! I'm staying with what I got for a while!

Trying to install MeanBean...I updated the Firmware to the latest, have the phone unlocked and rooted (it says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED in the recovery screen) and did a factory reset. I have TWRP installed and can still get to the TEAMWIN RECOVERY project interface...
I was installing MeanBean and it just stuck on about 75% and stayed there. I waited for about ten minutes and figured something must have gone wrong so I didn't really have a choice but to shut it down. After starting back up when I tried to install again it said "FAILED" in red letters. I decided to re-download the ROM but now when I mount the SD CARD from within the recovery menu (to transfer the new file) my computer says that I must format the drive before I can use it and won't let me see the contents of the sd-card. I didn't want to do that for fear of bricking...so I don't really know what to do from here. I should add that I don't have a backup made in TWRP (I got the phone yesterday and hadn't installed or done anything to the OS)
Anyone know what should be done at this point?
thx
I'm updating this for anyone else who runs into issues like this: I went ahead and formatted the SD card from within windows, then relocked the phone, reinstalled the RUU and I'm back in a workable mode

I had the exact same problem. I just reformatted the internal storage and that fixed a lot of my issues. I can't however get the RUU to work. Can't seem to find my phone, neither can HTC Sync. Is this just a problem caused by MeanBean? I use to run MeanBean but then switched to CM10 for a few months and was going to switch back. Never had an issue like this before.
So I got an HTC Hero. I rooted, flashed custom ROMS, had much fun, but trouble started when I wanted to try out BEASTsense. Prepaired SDCard with EXT, flashed, all went fine. Like the fool I am, I removed the sdcard while ROM was working, so all apps disappeared. In order to fix that I rebooted. And then it started:
- Phone bootloops (not even reaching bootscreen) when the sdcard is in (yes, I tried another sdcard, yes, they had no EXT partition).
- Phone boots just right when sdcard is not in, and when I install it it doesn't detect it.
- RUU'd to stock, same problem
- HEROIMG'd to stock, same problem.
I would say it's hardware, but the bootloader/HBOOT reads and installs the HEROIMG from SD just fine. Help. Please.
(sorry for my relatively poor English)
EDIT: Before using RUU or HEROIMG, I tried booting into recovery and wiping everything, but the recovery itself wouldn't recognise my SD, so I could not flash another ROM or use my precious NANDroid backups. Just so you know
help!
Got the same issue, hero keeps rebooting, cant reach any menu, think i got it bricket.
Anyone has any idee, tryed hard reset.
With or without sdcard, same story
Try to wipe sd-ext in recovery... (it will delete your apps)
thanks

Got mine working now, now i got a strange batterydrain when i start the market or the internet browser. couple of minutes and the battery is out of order...
hey guys, first post here: i just bought the atrix 4g, got it in the mail today, used the 1-click rooter to unlock the bootloader, then to root. then i installed cyanogenmod 9- i followed instructions appropriately, but the phone hangs at the motorola logo screen at boot-up and does nothing more. i tried re-flashing, fixing permissions, clearing dalvik cache, nothing works.
edit- i installed cyanogenmod9 through clockworkmod, by installing zip from internal
i was going to re-flash stock rom, but i cant get internal storage to mount from clockworkmod (no sd card), so i cant get the stock file over to the phone to flash, so im bricked.
any thoughts/advices? thanks in advance, after not having a phone for near a week, id kinda like to make a call

Did you try using fastboot to erase system, data, cache, and osh partitions?

You bricked your phone, not cyanogenmod ...
Restore a backup, your phone should work.
hm, can anyone tell me, why i cant get internal storage to mount from clockworkmod? is this a common problem?
i dont understand what went wrong for me, when i followed the same steps that many others did.

Your phone is not a paperweight, just not boot the operating system
You did a backup with CWM? restore a backup as Emerson says
You can borrow a sd card copy there CM7 and install from the sdcard
You can also use RDS to install a stock rom
Never install a rom without having an one that you know works 100%
AND ALWAYS READ ALL FAULTS AND SOLUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM
ok guys, i went and bought an sd card, clockworkmod mouted it fine, i found and copied over to the sd card android 2.34 for atrix, it flashed fine and my phone is back up.
can you gentleman tell me, whats a good solid rom to flash? cyanogen mod 9 obviously didnt work for me. id like to get started setting up the phone, so i need a good rom to begin with.
thanks to everyone in advance
Go with montouri's version of cm7.2 ,mrom-Olympus you can find it in the developer section. Its my daily driver. Its the most stable and has the best battery life out of all the roms that I've tried
motoxrcr1 thanks for the recommendation, running m-rom now and it runs smooth.
the first time i tried to install it, it hung at the boot logo, then i got to thinking maybe i better try updating clockworkmod, turned out that clockworkmod 4.0X that was installed by the 1-click rooter, is rather old, so i found and updated to 5.XX. tried re-flashing m-rom again, and it worked fine that time.
older clockworkmod, that's probably what caused my original problem with cyanogenmod 9..
does mrom support overclocking? not that i guess i need it, but just to know for future reference
thanks!
the trouble i caused myself, was all due to flashing the rom from an older version of clockworkmod.. after updating to a newer version 5.xx, it flashed fine
